Capturing Summer in a Cup: The Art of Our Ivan Tea with Strawberries

 

There's a moment in a Russian summer when the meadows are in full bloom and the wild strawberries are at their peak. It’s this fleeting, perfect moment we sought to capture in our latest blend.

 

Our Ivan Tea with Strawberries is more than just a tea; it's a preserved memory. We carefully ferment the leaves of the Fireweed plant (Ivan Chay), a process that unlocks their smooth, rounded flavor and removes any bitterness. Then, we layer in the essence of sun-warmed strawberries, not with harsh flavorings, but with real, dehydrated berries that infuse their soul into the hot water.

 

The result is a cup that is both grounding and uplifting. It’s the warmth of tradition meeting the joy of a summer berry patch. We invite you to slow down, steep a pot, and let the aroma transport you. This is the heart of Altarika—bringing you nature's finest gifts, one cup at a time.
